Technical Standards

Emotional Support Animals

Students seeking to bring an emotional support animal into campus housing must meet with an advisor from Accessibility Services to determine if this is a reasonable accommodation.

Students with an emotional support animal must obtain a copy of the university's Care and Responsibility of Emotional Support Animals Procedure.
